Global Overview: Pathways to Inclusive Growth | Global Investors' Symposium Mexico City 2024
Richard Ditizio, Robert Citrone, Agustin Coppel, Altagracia Gomez
President Sheinbaum's new administration is accelerating Mexico's nearshoring strategy by establishing ten strategic industrial corridors, slashing permit processing times by half, and setting renewable energy targets of 45% by 2030. This policy shift, supported by a massive domestic STEM workforce and regulatory reforms in sectors like Grupo Coppel's expansion, aims to capitalize on a global macroeconomic realignment toward pro-market Latin American governments. Despite these structural advantages, the investment community emphasizes that long-term success hinges on the government strengthening the rule of law to ensure private sector growth without excessive interference.

Over 1,000 speakers convened at the 2024 Milken Institute Global Conference under the theme "Shaping a Shared Future" to address critical challenges ranging from supply chain disruptions and cybercrime threats to a historic displacement crisis of 110 million people. IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva and other key figures analyzed divergent economic trajectories, warning that fiscal deficits and trade fragmentation could trigger a "turbulent" decade unless nations pivot toward productivity-enhancing innovations like green technology and artificial intelligence. The event highlighted both severe US social crises, including gun violence and fentanyl overdoses, and significant global opportunities, such as $500 billion in deployed philanthropic capital and fintech solutions banking millions of unbanked individuals.

Social Epidemiology: Public Health + Social Movements | Future of Health Summit 2023
Richard Ditizio, John Feinblatt, Robin Koval, Jesse Milan Jr.
This panel explores how US life expectancy trends are being eroded by social determinants of health, drawing strategic parallels between the successful tobacco control movement and current efforts to curb gun violence and HIV-related disparities. Speakers detail how grassroots coalitions like Everytown and Moms Demand Action shifted political calculus through litigation, corporate pressure, and state-level strategies to bypass federal gridlock and pierce industry legal fortresses. The discussion concludes by outlining future interventions, including product safety innovation, the "tobacco end game" to eliminate social license, and the critical role of corporate investment and social media responsibility in addressing commercial determinants of health.
